Year 7 is a crucial stage in education with students going through major physical, social and emotional changes. “Students need to be treated differently at the intermediate age,” says ACG Strathallan Year 7 and 8 dean, Clinton Thomas.

“They must be nurtured, as they’re still young, yet challenged academically to avoid losing interest.” Providing the right support through the change and development is key, Mr Thomas says. “At ACG Strathallan, we hold regular tutor classes for students in Years 7 and 8 to discuss things like peer support, organisation, and preparing for exams; we run camps to help grow supportive social networks; and we ensure our students have access to me, their dean, or the school counsellor when necessary,” he explains.

Visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
